Qimozi did not panic at the sight of this, but instead revealed a sneer.

Golden light burst forth from his body, sweeping around to form a golden spiritual domain over a dozen zhang in size, encompassing both him and Xiong Shan.

This spiritual domain was incredibly dense, obscuring the view inside from the outside. Only a few flashes of precious light could be seen, suggesting that Qimozi had summoned some defensive immortal artifacts.

The Lan siblings' cultivation of the Water Law excelled at defense. They were initially quite confident in their ability to withstand the Five Elements Annihilation Array's attacks; otherwise, they would not have chosen to act alone.

However, when they sensed the power of the five-colored light spheres, their expressions immediately changed. They quickly opened their spiritual domains, interweaving and overlapping them.

Strands of blue law crystals shot out from their bodies, intertwining and subtly merging, forming a hazy blue vortex around them.

Beside the vortex, two domain spirits flashed into existence. Both were half-human, half-beast, with human torsos and serpentine lower bodies, each wielding a blue, shimmering trident.

The two domain spirits moved swiftly around Lan Yuanzi and his sister, brandishing their tridents and releasing countless blue water thunderbolts that spun around them.

On Han Li's side, they had already established a defensive formation.

Hu San acted first, immediately opening his spiritual domain and summoning the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade.

He simultaneously spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which entered the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade. The blade instantly surged with dazzling blood-red light, and its size increased a hundredfold, transforming into a colossal blood-red blade dozens of zhang long.

Hu San rapidly performed incantations, and the blood-red giant blade split into countless shadows, transforming into a blood-red curtain of blades that enveloped the three of them.

At the same time, Jiao San's body circulated with dark red light, and she also opened her spiritual domain.

Four dark red crystal lights shot out from her body, landing in the four directions of the spiritual domain, manifesting as four dark red paifang (archways).

The four paifang were inscribed with the characters for East, South, West, and North, respectively, emitting ten thousand rays of dark red light that intertwined to form a dark red light罩, protecting the three of them.

At this moment, a large expanse of golden light bloomed from Han Li's body, forming a substantial temporal spiritual domain over a dozen zhang in size, enveloping the two of them and acting as the innermost layer of defense.

Simultaneously, a flash of emerald green light appeared, and the Profound Heaven Gourd floated above his head.

The light around the gourd trembled, and thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords shot out, circling and dancing around the three of them, forming a defensive sword array.

Just as they had set up their defenses, countless five-colored light spheres rained down upon them.

The previously stable five-colored light spheres exploded upon contact with the defenses of those inside the hall, unleashing countless earth-shattering roars.

Blinding five-colored essence momentarily engulfed the entire hall, suppressing and concealing everyone's spiritual domains, divine abilities, immortal artifacts, and so on.

The golden light barrier around the hall, whatever restriction it was, remained unshaken.

Han Li and the others were similarly engulfed in the five-colored essence.

The blood-red curtain of blades erected by Hu San was the first to be attacked by the five-colored light spheres, shattering like paper upon contact.

The Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade also appeared, its surface blood-light scattered for the most part, reverting to its original size, and it fell into Hu San's arms with a mournful cry.

Hu San's body shuddered, and he let out a muffled groan, spitting out a mouthful of blood before staggering backward.

The five-colored essence surged forward, bombarding Jiao San's dark red spiritual domain.

Seeing Hu San's defense torn apart so easily, Jiao San's eyes twitched. She roared, and the dark red spiritual domain immediately brightened, and strands of dark red law crystals emerged, dividing into six and transforming into six gigantic holes, spinning rapidly.

The inside of the holes was pitch-black, devoid of light, as if connected to the depths of endless hell.

The five-colored essence bombarded the dark red spiritual domain, causing it to tremble wildly, with the outermost areas cracking inch by inch.

However, Jiao San's dark red spiritual domain was much sturdier than Hu San's, and instead of collapsing, the six black holes howled, emitting an immense devouring power that instantly swallowed a large amount of five-colored essence.

With a gentle rotation, the six holes completely dissolved the explosive Five Elements Law power within the five-colored essence.

However, the incoming five-colored essence was simply too numerous, and the six holes could not keep up with the rate of consumption. After only a few breaths, the entire spiritual domain exploded, and the six holes disappeared as well.

The five-colored essence then bombarded the dark red light shield formed by the four paifang. The four paifang shone brightly and flickered wildly, the light erupting with powerful law power, far surpassing Han Li's Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

The dark red light shield immediately trembled violently, but it managed to withstand the five-colored essence.

However, the attack of the five-colored essence was too strong, and the dark red light罩 only lasted a few breaths before rapidly dimming and collapsing with a resounding crash.

Jiao San's face turned pale, and she also spat out a mouthful of blood, her aura becoming listless.

After shattering the dark red light罩, the five-colored essence surged down like a raging tide, submerging the four paifang immortal artifacts before continuing to bombard inward, its momentum undiminished.

Han Li frowned slightly and waved his hands in incantation.

The temporal spiritual domain around him lit up, and over two hundred strands of temporal law crystals shot out from his body, circling and dancing within the spiritual domain.

The already near-substantial temporal spiritual domain became even more solid.

At the same time, a golden light flashed behind Han Li, and the Mantra Treasure Wheel floated out. With a spinning motion, countless golden ripples spread out from it, merging with the temporal spiritual domain.

Boom!

The surging, turbulent five-colored essence bombarded in, entering the range of the temporal spiritual domain, and was immediately shrouded by the power of the Temporal Law, where it became still and motionless.

However, the power of this five-colored essence was truly immense, causing the temporal spiritual domain and the Mantra Treasure Wheel to tremble incessantly. Moreover, the subsequent five-colored essence continued to bombard the temporal spiritual domain, causing the trembling to intensify, threatening to shatter it.

Han Li had encountered a similar situation in the Tongtian Sword Array, but the power of this Five Elements Annihilation Array far surpassed the Tongtian Sword Array, and it almost shattered his Mantra Treasure Wheel in an instant.

Though alarmed, Han Li remained calm, and he performed another series of incantations in front of him.

Golden light flashed around him, and the Time-severing Torch, Eastern Wood Divine Tree, Time Purification Bottle, and Illusionary Star Hourglass, the four law items, simultaneously appeared, and at the same time, they emitted dazzling golden light, merging into the temporal spiritual domain.

The temporal spiritual domain, which was on the verge of collapse, instantly became stable, completely imprisoning all the five-colored essence that entered it.

Han Li performed another incantation, and the sword array formed by the thirty-six Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords began to rotate.

Instantly, countless sharp sword energies rotated and cut within the spiritual domain, shattering most of the five-colored essence.

At the same time, the emerald green light around the Profound Heaven Gourd floating above his head suddenly brightened, and a swath of emerald green light shot out from the gourd's mouth, sweeping towards the five-colored essence within the spiritual domain that the sword array had not had time to shatter.

This five-colored essence had already been imprisoned by Han Li's temporal divine ability, and as soon as it was swept by the emerald green light, it was immediately swept into it and disappeared into the Profound Heaven Gourd.

In the blink of an eye, the five-colored essence within the temporal spiritual domain was completely cleared.

Although the subsequent five-colored essence still bombarded in, it was imprisoned and devoured just like the previous five-colored essence.

The five-colored essence within the hall surged violently for a moment before finally dissipating.

The figures of the people in the hall appeared, each in a different situation.

Near the entrance of the hall, Lan Yan of the Lan siblings was covered in blood. Her left hand, left foot, and half of her body were gone, and she was slumped on the ground.

But she seemed oblivious to her injuries, staring blankly at a blue jade flower in her right hand.

Lan Yan's shoulders trembled slightly, and crystal tears streamed down her cheeks.

Lan Yuanzi was nowhere to be seen. Only two damaged immortal artifacts lay forlornly on the ground.

The Four Symbols Demon Array formed by the five eagle-nosed demons had also collapsed and disappeared. Not only that, but the Copper Lion Demon and the Blood Hand Demon, two of the five, were also missing, leaving only a few incomplete demon artifacts.

The eagle-nosed demon, the bone demon, and the turtle-backed demon were also seriously injured, their faces filled with horror.

Beside the three of them, a bright golden light flickered, and after a flash, it dissipated, revealing the figures of Qimozi and Xiong Shan.

The two of them were not injured at all, and their clothes were as good as new.

Within the five-colored light curtain, Dao Yin Zhenren's face was even paler, and Lei Yuce and the others were the same, their bodies emitting less light, indicating that they had consumed a great deal of power.

Han Li withdrew his gaze from the nearby people and waved his hand, putting away the Mantra Treasure Wheel and other things.

Jiao San and Hu San staggered, but finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dao Yin Zhenren was obviously surprised to see so many people still alive in the hall. Then, the killing intent in his eyes flashed again, and he performed another series of incantations, pointing towards the five-colored disc in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Liu, if we continue to be passively beaten like this, I'm afraid we will all die here. I have a way to turn the tide, but I need the help of you two," Jiao San said, feeling a thump in her heart as she saw Dao Yin Zhenren's actions. She immediately communicated with Han Li and Hu San through voice transmission.

"Are you talking about releasing the demon under the altar?" Han Li's eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed Jiao San's meaning.

"What! Release that demon! That person is likely a Dao Ancestor, and he's also a member of the Demon Race. What if he attacks us after he breaks free?" Hu San exclaimed.

"The current situation doesn't allow us to think too much! Besides, I am at least 70% certain that I can prevent that person from attacking us," Jiao San said immediately.

Han Li's heart suddenly stirred when he heard these words.

For some reason, he felt that Jiao San's proposal to release this demon was the best option at the moment. He even had this impulse in his heart the moment he arrived here, but he forcefully suppressed it.

After all, if things continue like this, as Jiao San said, the situation seems to be getting worse and worse.

He could barely cope with the Five Elements Annihilation Array's attack just now, but since the Five Elements Annihilation Array is one of the Ten Ancient Great Arrays, it must have other divine attacking abilities.

If everyone present is killed, he is not confident that he can face the Five Elements Annihilation Array and the Tongtian Sword Sect on his own.

As for the consequences of releasing that demon, he didn't want to care too much about it, nor did he want to think too much about it.

(The festival is approaching, and Wang Yu's family is also becoming busier, so I can only update once these few days. I hope everyone will forgive me ^^)
